From the Nupe of north central Nigeria, a pair of wooden utilitarian objects used as a base to roll local fiber into string,

Tallest piece is 11.5 inches by 5 by 2

Superficial cracks on the underside but the pieces are quite solid.

They are a bit heavy - made of harder wood.

Great decor / design pieces.
